<p>I found using the block annoying because it kept popping up unless I used my other hand to hold it down and somehow that made it hard to do the massage. Just felt super awkward to me and I gave up. I liked the stretch tho. Def felt it. </p>

<p>I had such a hard time getting into position. I had to stop. I was afraid I would hurt myself. </p>

<p>I'd like to say I enjoyed this but unfortunately I didn't, its just not for me, I found it painful and frustrating and gave up at 13 mins, I'll give the second on a go tomorrow and might like that one better, disappointed cause I was excited seeing there was a new series</p>

<p>Trying this and having two issues: 1) my block keeps tipping up on the opposite side from my toe. How do I keep it down? 2) it’s very uncomfortable on my opposite hip. Are there any alternate positions I can use?</p>

<p>Team important!: It is likely that if you have a hard time feeling the right thing, there are restrictions on the outside of the calf that are making it difficult for you to get access to the outer calf.</p><p>Why is this important in the context of functional movement like walking, running, squatting, crawling, jumping, and even all of your yoga poses? </p><p>Well balance is not just a product of working on balance work. We have to go deeper than that. Can your foot connect to your lower leg . Because if you foot collapses it is likely that the inner calf gets OVERACTIVE. The outer shin or calf gets OVERSTRETCHED. And this causes a whole slew of issues up the chain too. The glutes get inactive, and our lower backs begin to compensate. </p><p>So training that overstretched outer line of the body with connection of the body changes your entire alignment . So think stronger tree poses, stronger balance postures, better running, better squatting, better lunging, better HUMAN-ing. </p>

<p>hi Sumair- I Just couldn't understand this- the block kept slipping and trying to follow along felt frustrating- maybe the camera needs to be closer to exactly what is happening? Just had to vaguely guess where to press but couldn't feel anything. Also maybe a before and after example of where we are trying to get to? maybe my knee already goes easily over my ankle or maybe it doesn't. I really had no idea what we were trying to achieve here. Gave up feeling very confused! And does anyone ever read these comments as many are saying the same thing?</p>

<p>How do I do this without the yoga block tipping? The weight of my foot tips the yoga block so it won't stay flat on the floor</p>

<p>I appreciate this so much Sumair! my calves have been extremely tight for the majority of my life and though I’ve come far in connecting with other areas of my body, my calves remain super congested. my dream is to squat ass to grass without heel support someday. 🥲</p><p>I tried this practice last night and couldn’t feel the sensation on the outer ankle like you mentioned no matter how far out I rotated my foot for the first 3/4 of the soft tissue work. today I got my paws on a massage gun and tried again (bc humans are animals that can use tools lol) and I could feel the burn so much more! </p><p>feeling hopeful and thankful! when I’m pushing my knee over on the block it looks like my knee is coming in towards my body, but from the back it does seem like my knee is pushed forward. is that okay? hope that makes sense.</p>

<p>Like many other people I found this very frustrating. The block kept flipping over and I couldn't feel anything in the places I was meant to be feeling it, and I didn't understand where my weight was meant to be, so it was on the opposite leg to the block side that I was feeling all the strain. I wonder whether this kind of exercise is much more effective in a 1-2-1 personal training session. I gave up in the end, which I have never done with a class on here before.</p>

<p>This is really frustrating. Three minutes in and I feel like I’ve twisted my ankle and my block keeps flipping. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.</p>
